I have the atlas pv-9p with not one complaint. I'm 6'4" and work comfortably under it with out the extra extension, I only have 12' ceiling.

I dont know if its any help or not but a week or two ago I replaced 8 old t12 8' fixtures in my 30x40x12 with 8 8' led lights from home depot and could not be happier, they are very bright and no dark spots or shadows. I hung them with some brackets the sold next to the lights, they are maybe 8"...

I'm not a pro, just have a 2 post at home for my own use. I have been completely satisfied with my atlas over the last few years and wouldnt hesitate to buy another.

If I get around to ordering a different fan for this heater, such as the adp cayenne fan I will update this thread.

My buddy up the street just put in the same heater, and his sounds just like mine. Its not unbearable, I just think this heaters naturally louder then the Cayenne heater I had before this because of the fan design.

This winter I decided to replace my 30 year old reznor hanging garage heater, In hind sight I should have left it in as it was running fine and was nice and quiet, but had a small crack in one of the heat exchangers. My buddy has his own heating/cooling business and recommended the cayenne 75k...

http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-PV-9P I bought that lift a couple years ago and love it. Lifts my 2011 duramax that weighs just under 8k lbs easily. Supposedly these lifts have a 1.5 time safety rating, so the 9k needs to be able to lift 13.5k with out failure.

Are faced batts a must, or overkill? Can I just use unfaced batts and then screw the 7/16" osb over them?

Back in 2008, I built a 30x40x12 pole barn. A year or so later I insulated. and osb'd the ceiling. I have a natural gas overhead furnace and it really hasn't been bad to heat, but I scored some free lumber from work. We tore out a bridge in a park that was only a couple years old, and I got to...

http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Chicago-Pneumatic-RCP-581VNS-Air-Compressor/p2045.html Thats my compressor, same pump and motor.

The harbor freight compressor you posted is a very good deal. My $1200 chicago pneumatic I bought a couple years ago has the same exact 2 stage pump and motor. I used mine to do a full frame off restoration, including body work on a car. I would worry more about getting a better 2 stage pump...

My 30'x40' pole barn floor and 30'x3' apron across the front are 5 years old and crack free. I did the sub grading and compaction myself and had trusted concrete finishers (friends from work) do the pour. They came back less then 24 hours after they poured the floor and did the 1" deep relief...

I ended up buying the more expensive pv-9p, since its recommended for 3/4 ton diesels. Cant wait to get it and install it. Definitely need to buy the frame adapters, stands and oil changing drain, possibly a transmission jack, but I have spent enough $ for this week. I am very thankful for...

I have been looking at lifts for the last month or so, and am stuck between these 2 9k pound lifts from greg smith equipment. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atlas-PV-9P-9-000-LB-2-Post-Auto-Car-Truck-Lift-Hoist-Two-Post-/271425491616?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item3f323852a0&vxp=mtr...
